I love a breakfast that includes eggs, a veggie like a few stalks of asparagus and fried RED tomatoes. Fried red tomatoes are a regular breakfast food in Scotland.
I simply fry without any coating...not much longer than to heat and soften. The outer skin then comes off easily - one should never eat tomato skins...they will plaster themselves to the lining of your gut and stay there for eons, collecting toxic waste under them. Cooked or warmed, they are tougher than plastic.
For any other recipe, even for salads, I skin them first - by simply dipping them for about 30 seconds in boiling water and then plunging them into cold water. The skin all but falls off.
Fried while grain rice with scrambled egg, onion and mushrooms mixed in is delicious for breakfast to - with a side of fried red tomatoes, of course.
For meats, especially red meat, I get organic and it is NOT more expensive if you eat healthy. For example, I have red meat only 2-3 times a month and I eat it in the healthy portion size of ‘palm of hand’.
Also, by chewing slowly and thoroughly, something most of us have gotten out of the habit of due to our rush-a-day world, has enormous benefits. If you chew each bite of food until it’s the consistency, almost, of water, you digestive system has a much easier time of digesting. In addition, but eating slowly, your brain will get the message that you aren’t starving long before you have gulped down more food than you should = We are an overeating nation largely because we eat so fast that the brain still things we’re at risk of starving - long after we’ve actually eaten enough.
for lunch today, I had a good big bowl of beet greens, flavored with organic vinegar, a dab of my own ghee mix (clarified butter halved with olive oil) s & p. and that was it. Perked me right up and was ready to go for the afternoon. We do not have to have meat, potatoes and veggies to make a meal.

Of course fried RED tomatoes are food - Good food! And asparagus too. You also mentioned beet greens - asparagus and red beets are at the top of the healthy list, and the green from the beet is also very good.
Organic is better, of course, for the beef. Or naturally raised, free range. Same for poultry.
And what you say about chewing the food - right on! Saliva has digestive enzymes, and we miss out when we do not chew our food. Lots of digestion problems and IBS type diseases result from not chewing, and from fast foods.
